What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on PLC/HMI commissioning and automation where I can improve line reliability, apply virtual commissioning, and tackle optimization challenges.

I am a Control Systems Engineer with over six years of experience commissioning production lines in automotive and intralogistics industries. I specialize in PLC/HMI development, virtual commissioning, and improving line reliability through diagnostics and alarm strategies.

My work includes delivering PLC code to client standards using TIA Portal (v13–v19), WinCC Unified, and integrating external devices such as cameras and frequency converters. I have implemented virtual commissioning with digital twins and resolved mechanical, electrical, and software issues on-site.

I have worked in freelance and company roles, developing station logic, user function blocks, MES telegrams, and special processes, while applying Simatic Safety and S7-1500 platforms. I focus on robust diagnostics, clear alarm strategies, and maintainable, client-compliant code.

I am driven by continuous self-development and new challenges, bringing analytical thinking, perseverance, teamwork, and a focus on optimization to ensure reliable operation and higher efficiency of production lines.
